SOME PRACTICAL POINTS.

Having given my idea of a model
school and Of the character of the
teachers that should be employed
in teaching them, l now mention
some practical points in school gov
eminent which are especially APP
plicable to our country schools.
We read in nearly all educational
journals method after method, but
seldom find any of them that will
apply TO our country schools where
one teacher generally has the work
of two or three teachers to perform.
The most of our country teachers
are not so much troubled over the
philosophy Of education as they
are over the little details of practi-
cal work in the school-room and
the work of so conducting his
school as to keep peace and harmo-
ny among his pupils and patrons
He is especially perplexed with
many petty difficulties. 1t is not
the weighty matters that wear the
life of teacher 1t is their little
annoyances. Having had some ex-
perience in our country schools
during the past eight years, l know
how to sympathize wish all courtry
teachers and often wish that /
could help them, and if they will
write to me about their difficulties
nothing would afford me more
pleasure than to answer to the best
of my ability through the columns
of THE CITIZEN.
The first and one of the hardest
of the practical points / wish TO
make is concerning pupils who are
always wanting to retire from the
school-room Many will lntrude
on the privilege allowed them by
the teacher. The old method of
keeping a card at the door with
"Out" printed on one side and Gin"
on the other is objectionable, for
many of the quickest children do
all the going and many who should
be allowed to go never go. The
plan of holding up the hand or ask
ing permission across the room is
also Objectionable because it annoys
the teacher. To keep children in
from recess to recess will not do in
all cases. The best plan 1 have
ever tried is this: Let the pupils
understand clearly that by coming
to the teacher and getting permits
sion they can go at any time, but
that all lost time must be made up
by staying in after school. The
teacher should keep an accurate &C
count and see that they make up
the time faithfully before they
leave in the evening. The pupils
should be made to understand that
the staying in is not a punish
ment and brings no disgrace. 1t is
simply making up lost time The
restraint consist in this: Pupils
who must leave the room will will
ingly make up the time, and those
who.are not compelled to go will
wait and go when all the others g
at recess. This is the only plat
that l ever found to work success.
fully. 1t is the natural method
plan and is founded on reason ant
common sense. During the pas
FIVE years this question has no
given me any trouble, Try it ant
you will seldom have pupil t.
stay in.

1t is the intention, not openly
announced, but the intention, new
ertheless, of organized labor to
again make the attempt to establish
the eight hour system in all branch
es of labor. The date named is
May LIST. next, and the movement is
to be concerted in all manufacture
ing centers. Coupled with the de
mand for eight hours, will be an
other demanding that the rate of
wages paid for ten hours shall not
be lowered when only eight hours
are worked. 1t is hard to believe
that the folly of last year is to be
repeated this year; that thoughtful,
intelligent workingmen will for a
moment countenance a repetition
of the late blunder. That eight
hours will eventually constitute a
days labor, is generally believed,
and the belief is just as general that
it never will become verify
through the medium of q concerted
movement-or a strike therefor. 1t
cannot be forced, especially on. the
eve of general improvement after a
long period of depression, when
everybody, workingman as we'll as
others, is straining every nerve to
make up for ''lost time" Advance
in wages is general in all Industrial
centers, the demands of employees
being generally conceded without
friction, and to demand eight hours,
and strike if the demand is not
granted, would be little less than
criminal folly. Reforms are brought
about by agitation, not by coer-
cion, and just now is poor time
for either, so far as the eight hour
question is concerned. What the
great majority of<workmen want
now is steady employment at remu-
era,ive wages, and if no ill-advis-
ed action is taken they will receive
both.-Industrial Gazette.

What We're the Lost Arts.

All we know Of them is by indications
Of their practice, which we find in works
which have survived decay. Of their
number only a few can be mentioned.
The ancient Egyptians, Phonicians
and Romans had knowledge of some
things in chemistry which we do not
possess, such as to make malleable glass.
They also knew how to color and gild
glass by a process unknown to us.
Bronze and copper were tempered to the
hardness of steel, and of this the Egyp'
tians made their edged tools. Paints
were mixed whose colors were imperisha-
BILE; at least they have existed fresh for
1000 years. At Damascus they made
blades of steel which could be bent into
a circle and would fly back into perfect
line. Neither this nor the gold tracery
in their steel can we initiate to-day. We
do not know how King Ramases and
Thotmes transported monoliths and ele.
waited them on the pyramids, though we
could do the same to-day by other pro.
cesses. Artisans and chemists have in
vain tried to produce iridescent glass
which archeologists have brought to
light. This does not complete the cata-
logue, but it is enough to show that the
q ncients were by no means unskilled.

lump, and he will therefore arrange them
in several smaller but still heroic doses.
The number of milch COWS is estimated
at 81 100000. They give each an aver
age of $50 gallons of milk annually.
This would make an aggregate milk
production of 9,35O,OOO,OOO gallons, a
miniature ocean, a fair sized Niagara.
Four thousand million gallons are used
for butter, 7OO,OOO,OOO for cheese, and the
remaining 2, 2,4SO,0oO, 900 pass through the
adulterating hands of the milkman and
grocer, and down the throats of 60,000,-
900 men, women and babies in this land
of freedom. The quantity of butter
manufactured and used is about 1885,
100000 pounds, and of cheese 5,500,O0O
pounds. The value of our dairy pro.
ducts for the last IL months was nearly
$5OO,OOO,OOO. This is s20,Ooo,OOo more
than the value of our annual wheat

of our corn crop, which is the most val

this immense dairy herd 00,000,00O acres
of pasture land are required, worth s2,-

How to Improve Their Condition.

There is one way, and only one way,
in which the colored people can be sure
to enjoy fully the rights which the law
confers upon them, and that way is by
proving, by their lives and conduct, that
they are worthy Of the privileges and
rights of citizenship. All that the color
ed people prove themselves worthy Of,
and all that they deserve they will un,
questionably gain. Legislation gives
them rights under the law, it is true, as
legislation gives rights to the white peo'
pie under the law. But whites as we'll as
blacks, in this country and in other
countries, have only the actual rights
that they have shown themselves worthy
of, and which they have shown that they
can exercise with advantage to themselves
and without injury to others.
If they go about it in the right way,
the colored people, everywhere, can i'm
prove their condition, without the assis.
tance of anybody else, as other races
have done before them. The right way,
it scarcely need be said, is for them to
improve themselves first; the improve.
ment of their condition will follow as
matter OF course.

Settling a Cur.

The Edinburg Farming World gives q
reliable method of curinga dog Of kill
ing sheep. he was tied to the neck Of
an old ram, the rope being six feet long,
not long enough to permit the dog to
jump the fence and hang himself and
perhaps strangle the ram too. The ram
made several passes which the dog
lodged, all the while working toward the
fence. When he reached it and attempt
ed to climb he was held back by the rope
and the ram gave him such whack that
he howled long and loud. Then he set
tied in corner of the fence and growled
his defiance. The ram drew back, got
his range and charged, sending the canine
into the open field in hurry. After
they had skirmished for time the owner
released the dog, and he was never known
to run after sheep from that day.

The Monkey and his Problem.

The author of "Under the Punkah"
tells an amusing incident Of his life in
India. he had given to a tame monkey
a lump of sugar inside corked bottle.
The monkey was of an iuquiring kind,
and the effort to get at the mystery-and
the sugar-nearly killed him.
Sometimes, in an impulse of disgust,
he would throw the bottle away, out of
his reach, and then be distracted until it
was given back to him.
At other times he would sit with 8
countenance of the most intense dejec.
ton, contemplating the bottled sugar,
and then, as if pulling himself together
for another effort at solution, would
sternly take up tie problem afresh and
gaze into the bottle. He would tilt it up
one way and try to drink the sugar
through the cork, and then, suddenly re.
versing it, try to catch the sugar as it
fell out at the bottom.
Under the impression that he could
catch it by surprise, he kept rapping his
teeth against the glass in futile bites,
and warming to the pursuit of the re-
volving lump, used to tie himself into
regular knots round the bottle. Fits Of
the most ludicrous melancholy would
alternate with these spasms of furious
speculation, and how the matter would
have ended it is impossible to say.
But the monkey got loose one night
and took the bottle with him; and it has
always been a delight to me to think that
whole forestfuls of monkeys have by this
time puzzled themselves into fits over
the great problem of bottled sugar
